Product Details

The Continental TB249K1 timing belt kit is built for engine valve train service where accurate camshaft and crankshaft synchronization is critical. The Standard Kit line focuses on OE-quality replacement components, and this kit follows that approach with a timing belt and tensioner for the specified applications. It is a direct-fit service part for vehicles such as the Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Nissan Pathfinder, as well as related Nissan and INFINITI platforms listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Dayco 95249K1 and Gates TCK249 for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, sprocket style, and model-year fitment before installation. This kit is listed without a water pump, so confirm whether separate cooling system service is being performed at the same time. Follow factory timing marks and service procedures for the specific application, and replace worn related components as needed during timing belt service.

Quality Assurance

Continental Standard Kit components are specified as OEM-quality replacement parts for the listed engine applications. The kit is built around the timing belt service interval noted in the product data and is intended for direct replacement on the confirmed fitment vehicles.
